Organic molecules reveal clues about dying stars and outskirts of Milky Way
Researchers from the University of Arizona will present findings from radio-astronomical observations of organic molecules at the 238th Meeting of the American Astronomical Society, or AAS, during a press conference titled "Molecules in Strange Places" at the 238th AAS Meeting on Tuesday, June 8, at 12:15 p.m. EDT.
A team led by Lucy Ziurys at the University of Arizona reports observations THOR hammers drones in new video animation
The Air Force Research Laboratory has created a new video animation that realistically depicts THOR (Tactical High-power Operational Responder) destroying swarms of enemy drones in a base defense scenario.
In an effort to counter the increasing threat posed by enemy drones and other airborne threats, the Air Force developed THOR.
THOR is a prototype Directed Energy (DE) weapon used t Radiation-hardened MOSFET qualified for commercial and military satellites and space power solutions
Power supplies in space applications operate in environments that require enhanced radiation technology to withstand extreme particle interactions and solar and electromagnetic events.
These events degrade space-based systems and disrupt operations. To meet this requirement, Microchip Technology Inc. has announced the qualification of its M6 MRH25N12U3 radiation-hardened 250V, 0.21 Ohm Rds Lunar IceCube passes critical testing at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center
The Lunar IceCube CubeSat successfully passed essential environmental testing at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. The spacecraft, pictured above, will fly aboard the upcoming Artemis I mission to the Moon as a secondary payload to investigate the amount and distribution of water ice on the Moon.
The spacecraft must go through intensive testing on Earth before flig Complex shapes of photons to boost future quantum technologies
As the digital revolution has now become mainstream, quantum computing and quantum communication are rising in the consciousness of the field. The enhanced measurement technologies enabled by quantum phenomena, and the possibility of scientific progress using new methods, are of particular interest to researchers around the world.
Recently two researchers at Tampere University, Assistant P Engineers design battery to power flying cars
Engineers at Penn State published plans Monday for a battery prototype they said is capable of powering flying cars.
"I think flying cars have the potential to eliminate a lot of time and increase productivity and open the sky corridors to transportation," lead author Chao-Yang Wang said in a press release on the study, published in the journal Joule.
